Abstract
[My life has taken twists and turns, all orchestrated by God, sometimes against my active inclination in unanticipated ways to enlarge my vision and use my
services on a wider map. Growing up I had a strong sense of where I will be working and serving – Ghana, West Africa – and by a combination of factors, most of my life and my work has been outside Ghana, serving as a bridge-builder
between the Global North and Global South, between academy and church, between mainline Protestants and evangelicals and now in a real sense on an even larger ecclesiastical map. In retrospect, what might have looked to me like accidents of history, are now recognized as God writing straight with what seemed crooked lines to me.]
